Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative Work Groups

The Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative includes more than 200 leaders (and counting) from grassroots, civic and nonprofit organizations from throughout Delaware. For administrative and fiduciary purposes, the group operates under the aegis of United Way of Delaware (UWDE), but is governed exclusively by its own members.
 
The Collaborative’s strategic objective is to drive transformative gains in racial equity and social justice across Delaware by eliminating those government, corporate, and social policies and practices that enable systemic racism and replacing them with those that achieve and sustain equitable opportunities and outcomes for all. 
 
To achieve this objective, the Collaborative will leverage and expand upon the work of its grassroots members by supporting community-based leaders across the state, especially young leaders, with the tools and resources necessary to achieve its objective. As well, the Collaborative will act as a unified platform to amplify the voices of those organizations representing people of color in Delaware and to advocate for immediate and long-term policies, practices and legislation that advance the changes in systems and culture needed.
